|collapsed to show the template in its collapsed state, i.e. hidden apart from its titlebar – e.g. {{National Register of Historic Places listings in Lenawee County, Michigan |collapsed}};

|expanded to show the template in its expanded state, i.e. fully visible – e.g. {{National Register of Historic Places listings in Lenawee County, Michigan |expanded}};

|autocollapse to show the template in its collapsed state but only if there is another template of the same type on the page – e.g. {{National Register of Historic Places listings in Lenawee County, Michigan |autocollapse}}.

Unless set otherwise (see the state parameter in the template's code), the template's default state is autocollapse.
